Accessories and add-ons are on-the-rise:

Industry-wide there’s been an uptick in outdoor living accessories and add-ons.

As people look to improve their outdoor space, comfort and style have become very important.

Examples shown (above and left) include lighting, post wraps and caps, electrical and wireless access and of course, comfortable furnishings.

Think about it this way: Outdoor lighting is definitely popular, but forget those old flood-lights and opt for soft deck lighting or a screened-porch ceiling light instead.

And gone are the days of metal tables and chairs that are stiff, uncomfortable and prone to rusting. (Oh and leave behind the faded plastic sets too!)

Instead look for outdoor living and dining room sets, complete with weatherproof cushions. Outdoor furniture comes in all different prices and is readily available at big box stores and specialty stores, alike.
